Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason

New pillows! No its not the name of the new porn movie starring Mammy2, get your mind out of the gutter. I am all excited about getting new pillows. Like I've said before, its the little things. Our pillows rival toast for lack of plumpness. Even with 2. There's nothing quite like a fluffy pillow. See what I mean about the little things. Its been 4 days since the kid left these shores for a week long stay with the sister in Holland and there is no way to describe the peace, the quiet, the relaxation of just being able to sit. Mammy2 compared it to a country that has battered by storms for months, torrential rain and tornados and then the calm. After the clean-up, and believe me , it took some time, you should her room, we are starting to just enjoy each other's company.

I have said it before, I love the kid to bits, but sometimes we all need a break. I have taken this relaxing to heart
and have done little or no work since christmas. Work in the evening I mean. There's been playing about on Youtube,
getting the awards section ready for my website and just watching dvds. Its been such fun. She's doing fine in Holland, she rang on New Year's day. Under the guise of wanting to chat. She cut to the chase pretty quickly. Some band, called Mutant or Masted or Monstorous are coming in March and she wants to get tickets for the boyf.
Out of her pocket money. I can't remember the last time she got pocket money! She's constantly saying "Oh sure, take that out of my pocket money" The bank rang last week to see why we weren't spending copious amounts of cash. Espeically when she appears to think we're ATMs. She returns on Sunday and its going to be mental. Mocks, CAO forms, portfolio perpartion and stress about the Leaving. Not to mention her 18th.

I am PMTing at the moment, its the only explanation for my ability to fly off the handle at peeps. I have a meeting tomorrow with the team who do work on angryPotato to discuss the birthday bash, amongst other things. There's a long list of things but we are getting there. Slowly. I am hoping to get the re-design of the site ready when the birthday bash kicks off but realistically it may not be possible to get the 2 going together. Stress wise, with me trying to keep the levels down, I might hold off until after the Roosters and the birthday bash. Or drinks lots of green tea. Take up kick-boxing again. Its on the cards. I need a new ward-robe though, its been at least 6 months since I went shopping for clothes. Retail therapy and all that jazz. I think its time for some glad-rags. Always makes one feel better :)
